Goodbye, Malaysia

Ok. In a couple of hours time.. I will be in a plane leaving to..............

... the UK for a holiday!

Ok like nobody knows that already. But I thought I could frighten some of you guys who thought I would be heading overseas to study ma.. Not yet, but soon enough that day will come. Shit dowan to think about it.

Anyway, this holiday of mine will be a pretty long one too as I'll be back a day before the semester begins so that's definitely a long enough time to miss me hah. Kinda crappy seeing that it is basically gonna take up the rest of my semester break but hey, who am I to complain. I get to go on a vacation.

So I most probably wouldn't get to see any of you guys anymore for the next 2 weeks or so and for sure I'll miss the most of you! (haha words carefully selected)

The main purpose of this trip would to be attend my brother's convocation and the holidaying is just to 'tumpang' this trip. But cannot help but feel darn excited after hearing about the places I'm about to go. By the end of this trip, I should be able to share with everyone my experiences in... exotic Greece, Dubai for a couple of days and the most of all... EMIRATES STADIUM THE HOME TO ARSENAL FOOTBALL CLUB.

I should be taking a stadium tour if all goes well and if I'm not mistaken that'll include visits around the stadium and to the players' changing room and stuff. Shit shit shit. Fabregas' sweat. HAHAHAHA.

Super excited.

Gonna take pics for sure. But does that mean more Series(s) for this blog? Lol. Will amount to be damn alot for sure. And my Japan one still incomplete summore. :(

And I still haven't blog about my Melaka trip but no time already! So here's the link to the albums I posted on Facebook. Read the captions. After browsing through the entire 2 albums while reading the caption, it's almost already like a blog entry. Actually, it IS in fact quite detailed so I don't know how much more extra I can blog about.

Album #1

Album #2


I guess that should be all.

Oh btw, I managed two(2) complete posts and one(1) incomplete post before this. So read them all if you want to.

Don't miss me too much when I'm away buddies. And if time permits, I should be able to blog sometime in the next 2 weeks in my brother's house.

So stay tuned for updates from the other side of the world.

Rawr.


C y'all soon enough.

Japan Series #4 - People, Places and Things

I was going to select the photos to put up here.

But I"M RUSHING ALREADY AND I STILL NEED TO FINALIZE MY PACKING! :(

So next time lah. Maybe when I get back.. -____-

Here's a sneak preview of my people, places and things collection.

Alex the Bowler

*Ok, next.

Ok this is going to be a shameless post.

Remember how I said my bowling improved drastically? Well actually it still kinda suck la if compared relatively to other people but hey, it's an achievement for me. So once again.. LET ME BE!!!!!11 Hmmph. >_>

Because people might not believe me, this is the evidence rawr:





Triple digits babeh. The other scores are liquified upon several requests. Haha.


From my second game:





Ok lah. Almost there.. hahaha still one of my better scores.

Wahahaha I actually think I found several reasonings behind it..

For one,

I actually think I am not that bad in ball-games(games with balls) all these time?? HAHA. Really man. I mean.. putting aside my lack of agility or speed... I can actually play ball-games pretty well that's IF I actually spend time playing it. Just because I don't or refuse to play the games doesn't mean I would naturally suck in them right right right?

Ok secondly.. which has a little relevance to the first point.. I think right.. I am those type who will become very consistent and good in a certain ball-sport after warming up! Ok maybe this applies to everyone else in this world as well.. but it's pretty much a proven theory with me. All I need is to play that particular sport for a while, depending on how long I hadn't played it, then I would be very consistent in it and all. Wait I know this sounds like the most basic general thing in the world but it's a little more.. specific with me. GAH duno how to explain. Just accept it. -_-

Bwahahaha. So right.. maybe after so long of 'not playing', my recent bowling outing a couple of weeks/months(?) before that fortunate day of bowling, was the 'warm-up' to my good bowling day!

OMG I DAMN CHEONG HEI(long-winded) I JUST REALISED.

ANYWAY, MY FINAL POINT AND PROBABLY MOST IMPORTANT POINT WOULD BE...

*drum rolls*

.
.
.





WII BOWLING!!!

HAHAHA! this could be the reason behind it all. that 'good bowling' day was my first 'real bowling' ever since I got my Wii and that could be the reason behind my improvement. And omg omg if that is proven correct, I would become a living evidence of how playing Wii can actually improve your skills in any real life sports or games they have for the Wii.

Awesome.

But then again, after all of that, I just have a fishy feeling that the next time I bowl, I will suck again like how I used to. Wow. So much for my reasonings. :/

King of cheong-hei-ness and no-significance posts signing out.

My Mid-Year Resolutions

*I'm on a super tight schedule. So here goes:

Hello. Seeing that I've failed all of my New-Year Resolutions this year, I am gonna start a new one afresh. It'll probably look the same. Just reworded. Then WTH do I need to post this up right?! SUKA LAH! LET ME BE!!!!1 Hmmph.

To be far less self-conscious when it comes to interacting with other people.

To participate in tutorials. Despite whether I have anything extra-intelligent to say or not.

To not be late for assignment submissions. And if, I repeat IF, possible, start early.

To study harder and be more diligent in my studies. :(

To start more Hellos.

To participate in clubs and societies. <-- lol nat.

Improve body clock.

To hit the gym more often.


Ok. This post shall act as a reminder for the next 6 months.

C'mon Alex. You shape and decide your life.

Random Bits and Pieces

Photos of food make me hungry. Even though I might have been glutted before I see the photos, just laying my eyes on the photos causes my tummy to grumble.

Like this.




*TUMMY GRUMBLES WTF

So random.

But that explains my size I guess.

My previous post sounds weird after reading through it again today. But I guess it's the consequence of not sleeping at all the night before. Weird stuff happens.

Going for a pretty long holiday next week onwards. Kinda excited, but kinda double-minded about it too seeing that it's gonna eat up the rest of my already very consumed 'break'. And I haven't even finished posting my Japan Series up yet. Feeling very lazy atm.

Should I post about my first semester? I think I'll just post it in point form cause I might want to read it back next time.

Took 4 damn tough subjects for dunno what reason.

Kinda regretted double-majoring.

One of my INT units made me feel very 'distant' in every sense whatsoever for I dunno what reason.

I'm not that smart after all (funny how this appears in every post-semester summary. I think the more semesters I'm completing, the dumber I think I am).

Good English, while beneficial, doesn't get you very far in answering essays.

I'm becoming or already am essay-phobic. All we do are super-long and complex research essays here. I'm running out of ways to start an essay other than mentioning the 21st century, in this era, in today's world, or something about the rapid growth of globalization.

The noodles at the Indonesian stall in the cafeteria is very nice indeed.

Uncle's sandwiches in cafeteria still very convenient.

So is the fruits stall.

Late for almost every assignment submission. Come to think of it, I think I was only 'not late' for one assignment. Must not repeat actions in the semesters to come, please. Because of that grades dropped pretty drastically for nothing.

Several assignments of mine I did from midnight till 9-10am that morning. Really, really unhealthy. Must not repeat actions.

Not active at all in uni.. yet.

VERY VERY UNHEALTHY BODY CLOCK FOR FIRST SEMESTER

Might update list.

Shit the last point reminded me of my 2008 new-year resolutions! LEMME GO CHECK SEEING THAT THE MID-YEAR IS APPROACHING ALREADY. OR HAS ALREADY APPROACHED OMG.

*ok checked. Damn disappointing.

To have a better body clock [FAILED]

To participate more among friends [FAILED]

To socialise better [FAILED]

To be less cowardly [FAILED]

To live a healthier lifestyle [FAILED]

Hi failure Alex.

But I must prevail and keep strong. For tomorrow will be a new day.

Wow you can't imagine how difficult it took me to find words to explain things the way I want to for this post. Either it's the time of the day or my vocabulary sucks balls. I think it's the latter coz this is not the only time I am struggling to find words from my mind. And most of the time, I don't find them. So I replace them with other words which sometimes makes my sentences confusing and... nonsensical. O well.

I shall post about my improved bowling skillx in the next post. LOL OVER 100 BEAT THAT SUCKERS HAHAHA.

At Looooooooooooong Last

There's an extra skip in each of my steps today.

I wonder why.

Oh, how could I let it slip off my mind?

Cliched, overdone, redundant, unnecessary, whatever.

but

For the beast has been slained, rejoice! Hopes he doesn't reincarnate and gobble the whole of me up. Will know our respective fates - our, being the beast's and mine - sometime next month.

But for now,

"IT'S OVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!11"

SEM 1, YEAR 2, WORST SEMESTER YET, OFFICIALLY OVER.

Pleasant Surprise and More

I feared for my modem to be fried along with any hardwares it might have affected alongside during a huge thunderstorm which struck in the afternoon - a time in which I was too tired to move from my bed to do anything at all, what more head to my computer and plug out everything and all.

But thankfully none of that happened.

All which happened was my main computer being able to access the internet again, after what feels like an eternity, immediately after the thunderstorm.

?_?

Sometimes, things in life confuse you in the funniest ways. I guess that's why it's great to be alive.

Kinda over exaggerated, I know.

*

Final paper on Monday. Hell yeah. Hell freaking yeah.

The only downside is how difficult-to-comprehend this final unit is. Everything feels so on the surface. In fact, just barely 'floating' too.

And the worst part of it all? No one understands what we, we being the Arts students, are going through. No one knows how tough it can be and that's sickening. Because we struggle like many of the difficult courses out there, but no one acknowledges our struggle as they do for the other courses.

Oh medicine tough, yes I get it. Oh engineering tough, yes I get it. Oh law tough, yes I get it. Oh Arts tough, you must be kidding me.

This is redundant and feels repetitive but the scale of it is so huge I feel there will never be the day when I stop telling people how the course is of so much more importance, and so much more difficulty, than they can ever, in their respective lifetimes, ever, think of.

Because it's not about learning how to organize events or advertise a product.
Because it's not about learning how to read news, or speak to another person over the phone.

It's about the humanities, sociology, semiotics, anthropology, philosophy, social sciences, media and cultural studies.
It's about Structuralism, Post-structuralism, Psychoanalysis, Auteur Theory, New Criticism, Postmodernism, Orientalism.
It's about Barthes, Freud, Foucault, Romantics, Derrida, Saussure, and so so so much more.

We do not want people to think of our course as the hardest of them all, because it is probably not true. All we want is for people to acknowledge our struggles, for it is as agonizing, if not more than any other courses out there. And maybe after that, we might just feel a tee wit better about what we are doing.

We don't need to go through the painstaking processes, only to have people devalue or belittle them later. Because that sucks and nobody understands. Nobody at all but us.

And on Monday I go to the battlefield alone. Fight the fight of my life against a raging frenzied beast and come back to my town wounded from head to toe and barely alive, only to have nobody welcoming my return in week-long parades, applauses, cheers, or even a simple welcoming drink.

Because in their minds, there was no raging frenzied beast, there was no need for a battle even, for my fight is of little significance, of trivial substance. For my fight is inferior to any other fights out there, for mine pales in comparison to any legendary acknowledged fights out there, and for I can never ever fight a tougher fight than the rest.

And ultimately no one is interested, no one cares, because their mindsets are fixed and stubborn. Because they don't feel they need to know the details of my fight, or the scale of it, because there was no raging frenzied beast, and the most violent foe or nemesis they could muster out of their limited knowledge, out of their minds which refuse to understand, stands inferior to even a housefly.

And so I walk to my home, alone, battle-wounded and sore, no one but me knowing the sacrifice I made, the danger I faced, the risks I took. No one knowing the details of how my hands almost got severed, how my body almost got permanently burnt, how I limped my way throughout the battle, or how I almost lost my right eye to the beast.

No one.. but me.




-alexeO-

*grumble grumble

Okay this could sound annoying because it probably implies me thinking too much again.

But do you know the times when you suddenly think of something you regretted saying or doing so much you could feel the embarrassment so heightened like it just happened a few seconds ago?

I'm sure you do.

Well I have that occurrences like a lot, hen duo, banyak banyak, oh surprise surprise.

So anyway, the most recent one would be the flashback of the time during my very first tutorial in university last year, where we had to take turns introducing ourselves in a circle, in a fun way through answering several interesting questions.

The difficult thing would be how we were supposed to memorize and repeat everyone else's answers so the further we are from the beginning of the circle, the more we have to memorize.

One of the more interesting questions would be the color of the undergarment we were wearing at that present time(yeah my tutor quite the hamsap) and the funny thing would be how everyone had to repeat the color of everyone's undergarment over and over again as the circle gets bigger.

But that's not the question which affected me deeply strangely enough.

The one which left a scar in my memory box(wtf is that) would be the simple question of my favourite celebrity.

I had a tough time trying to think of one because knowing me, I like to be original and being somewhere in the middle of the circle certainly limits my capacity to be original because my favourite actor/singer would most probably be taken up by then.

So anyway, it was finally my turn and even by then when I started answering the questions one by one (the favourite celebrity was among the last few questions), I still hadn't thought of a celebrity to choose.

So the panicky me immediately reminded myself of the most recent favourite song or any particular nice song I can think of at that moment and just list out the person who sang that particular song.

Which wasn't a good choice to make at all.

Because the smart, intelligent me had a random thought on the song about Angels to which I muttered somewhat proudly..

"Robbie Williams"

NooooooooooOOOooOOoooooOoOOo.

While several girls and guys before or even after me had supercool personalities like Freddie Mercury and Ayumi Hamasaki respectively, I had a freaking British pop sensation. Not like that's a bad thing, but I'm a freaking guy the last time I checked and even Beyonce would be a better option me thinks.

But Robbie Williams? Wtf wtf.

He's like the ultimate sex icon for girls swooning over and all. Come on Alex, Robbie Williams?? Gaaah!

I think my tutorial mates were also in various states of disbelief.

Some immediately asked, "Robin, the actor, or Robbie?"

To which I proudly answered again, "Robbie."

Dammit knowing better I should have answered Robin. Argh.

So much for wanting to be original.

*slaps self

Well at least if it ever happens to me again, I probably would be more ready next semester. I'll say someone cool like Fergie from Black Eyed Peas.. or maybe not.

I'm sorry I wasted your time if you actually read through everything. Haha. But it was really troubling me okay. Zzz. I just had to get it out. *grumbles grumbles again.

>_>

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Overcame strong currents, rough waves and consecutive tossing about but persisted through like a true champion and eventually risen from the adversity without a scratch.




My pen-drive is one heck of a fighter.

Survived the god-forbidding and imperil nature of the apocalyptic, deadly washing machine but still as fit as a fiddle, a computerized one, if that makes any sense at all.

On another totally irrelevant note,

A belated hello to...




omgz. omgz. omgz.

My very first console *wipes tear*.

I actually had a PS3 for a very short period but that is not counted because of the 'very short period' I had it for which amounts to.. never having it at all.

Bla, bla, bla to the Nintendo Wii being not suited for 'real' 'hardcore' gamers. Bla, bla, bla to lousier graphics and smaller memory capacity or other parallel things of little relevance.

I don't really care in the first place because for one, I never had a console to begin with so to hell with the hardcore gaming bull as I've never been 'hardcore' gamer before and I don't think I ever wanna be one. And besides, I still love my computer and playing games 'casual'-ly.

Two, I am not excited with the prospect of frantically pushing buttons on a controller for games because I was raised by my dad to think of that as a very absurd and erm, unintelligent thing to do. The Wii brings gaming to a whole new level. *swings imaginary remote

And thirdly, it's an extremely good party, casual gaming machine! Good bonding tool for family and friends alike. Yes you know you want to bond with me *raises eyebrow wtf

And oh yea, not forgetting you get to sweat while at it too. Regardless how insignificant your perspiration is as compared to playing real sports or hitting the gym, hey, at least it keeps your pulse racing even during your gaming times. Good for lazy arses like myself.

SO DARN EXCITING!

I got it like.. 1-2 weeks ago and the only downside to it is probably its games which costs a bomb if you want to buy games which come along with accessories, like a toy guitar for guitar hero etc but that applies to other consoles too I understand. And also due to my lack of console gaming in my lifetime, the first night I slept after playing I had a terrible headache omg T___T. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like I was about to puke or something. But thankfully I only suffered for that one night only.

And another downside is probably the fact that I showered 3 times for that one day I did nothing at all but play the Wii. ._.||

This device should make me a better host now. Hah.

Ok post much longer than I initially intended it to be.

And after all that, I have to remember somewhere at the back of my mind that I still got one more crucial exam paper to go next week. -______- super potong stim *grumble grumble*

Pest of the Day: Rats

I think there's a rat somewhere in my house.

Wait. Make that many, many rats.

It's not because my house is damn filthy or what. But it's the bloody electricity attic on top of the ceiling thingy lah.

Argh.

Yala damn geli I know so stay far far away thanks. Better for me since everybody knows how much I hate being the host and people coming into my private lair bwahaha. Sounds damn selfish I know. But I love my personal spaces tankiu veli mucho. Eventhough it could be rat-infested wtf.

Aih. I really really want to blog and post a non-filler post, i.e. finish my Japan Series photo collection(yes still got), and posting sexy pictures of myself(haha), but my main computer still cannot access to the internet and I'm damn lazy to transfer the files over via a pendrive.

Sleeping Hours: 18½

Started sleeping yesterday from..

7:00PM - 1:30PM.

No, I did not get the AM/PM wrong.

What? Try sleeping for literally zero hours the day before. But to be fair, I woke up all of a sudden at 2:00AM, then again at 7:00AM, both of which I forced myself back to sleep after tossing and turning about an hour for each on the bed.

A personal best, I think.

Very meaningless post but I gotta get it up somewhere.

Random Thoughts: Blogging

Sometimes I wonder when would be the day I finally stop 'penning' my thoughts onto this blog of mine.

It could 10 years time, next year, next week, or even tomorrow - I dunno.

My blog's so old the thought of it is almost incomprehensible. Will I still blog the day I get married, have kids, retire, and so on?

And what if my kids become old enough to be able to read my blog and go through my old posts one day. What will they think of their father omgz. Emotard whiny daddy. That doesn't sound good at all.

I was going through my archives(yes, again) and I discovered things I've already previously forgotten about! And that is the best part about blogging in my opinion. Reliving the memories of the past. ~_~

Leaving those random thoughts aside,

slightly busy period now. actually, one that has been going on for the past few weeks already. that's why I keep delaying some posts I should have posted long time ago. exams mah.

the internet connection on my main computer died on me, again.

my unhealthy sleeping habit is back. with a vengeance too.

worst semester ever gonna be all over soon *prepares confetti*

i really really hate mosquitoes. and any other pests for that matter. sorry son/daughter, i guess you have to ask your mother.
